Hi there!
When the slopes of two perpendicular lines are multiplied the outcome will be -1.
The slope is the number that is positioned in front of the variable x in the formula. In this case the slope of the given line is -2/5.
Let's call the slope of the perpendicular line m and take into account the given data of the question and my earlier explanation. We then find the following:

Divide both sides by - 2/5.

The answer is B.

Answer:
y = -1/3 x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope between the two points
m = ( -1 -8)/(2 - 5)
-9/-3
=3
We want a line that is perpendicular so it is the negative reciprocal
-1 /(3)
The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/3
y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -1/3x+b
We have a point of (6,7)
7 = -1/3 (6) +b
7 = -2 +b
Add 2 to each side
7 +2 = -2+b+2
9 = b
The equation of the line is y = -1/3 x+9
Answer:
25 : 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b , then
ratio of area = a² : b²
For the given figures the ratio of corresponding sides is
JK : EF = 20 : 8 = 5 : 2 , thus
ratio of areas = 5² : 2² = 25 : 4
I do not really understand the question clarify is it 256 times 3/4 if that is the question none of the above is right.<span />
The answer is A A number line with a closed circle on 3-
